"It's good that you're fine." Mu Qian Xue laughed. When she withdrew the delicate hand pressed on her body, a feeling of loss and loss welled up in Dong Fang Su's chest.

Even though he knew it was impossible, he still couldn't help but look forward to it …

"How is the situation?"

"Tsai has already reported the attack on Prince yesterday. Your Majesty has ordered the city gates to be sealed, and for the time being, no news has been heard about the assassins from the patrolling camp and Jing Zhao Yin Prefecture. As for the other Prince who were ambushed, their injuries are still alright, so you don't have to worry."

Tsai added on from the side, "Eunuch Huai En came over yesterday with an order from the Your Majesty and even brought an imperial physician. Also, the two aunts, Xin Wang, Mu Wang, Yin Qiu and Dong Mei, have also come … Chang Rong Zong Ji came to visit you. "

Dong Fang Su frowned: "Even matriarch knows about it?"

"Although Grand Consort is living in seclusion in the palace, this matter has stirred up a storm in the city, how could I not have heard of it? I've carefully told Aunt Dong Mei, she should be able to rest at ease." While speaking, Mu Qian Xue calmly looked in the direction of the Tsai. Dong Fang Su understood what he meant and said, "This king is a little hungry, let the kitchen prepare a bowl of porridge."

When Cai Yuan left as instructed, Mu Qian Xue said softly, "I have already asked Shi Jiu and the others to investigate the assassin's matter, and also the Yi Cui Shu that you mentioned before. I have carefully thought about it, since they were able to mount a sneak attack, using poison should not be a problem, but they didn't, did they forget about it, or … Their goal simply does not lie with you or any one of the Prince s. "

Dong Fang Su did not say anything, if the arrow that had hit him yesterday was extremely toxic, then he was afraid that it would poison him to death before he could even return, "Then what is their goal?"

Dong Fang Su heard a trace of concern from Mu Qian Xue's seemingly calm tone. Warmth rose in her heart, and the pain in her shoulder also lessened greatly. "Alright, I'll think of a way to deal with it."

"Bang!" The door was violently pushed open, and a human figure stormed in, "seventh brother, Cai Yuan said you're awake, how is it? I've brought all the ginseng from the previous years with me. If it's not enough, I'll immediately get someone to buy them, or else I'll go and ask Your Majesty for them. "

Hearing that voice, the cold expression on Dong Fang Su's face softened slightly, and he rushed over: "I'm fine, don't worry."

"How could it be fine? Cai Yuan told me that the arrow just happened to hit your shoulder, and those thorns almost took your life. This group of damned bastards, I don't even know where they came from, if I find them, I will tear them apart alive!"

The one who came was the ninth son of the Emperor Cheng, Dong Fang Ze, and he was bestowed the title of Mu Wang. Mu Qian Xue had seen him once, on the birthday of the Empress Dowager Wei, but, at the age of just Shi Jiu, she conferred the title of prince to her brothers, because he was the only son of the First Queen, and in terms of status, even Dong Fang Hui was slightly inferior to him.

Other than Dong Fang Hui, Dong Fang Su was the one who had the best relationship with him. The latter was the complete opposite of Dong Fang Su; he was impulsive, loved liveliness, and hated evilness as if he was his enemy. No one knew why he would fall in love with Dong Fang Su.

As they were speaking, two servants ran in breathlessly from the outside, each of them holding a long box in their hands, which they gave to Cai Yuan as soon as they came in. The latter couldn't catch them all, and accidentally dropped one of the boxes on the ground.

Dong Fang Ze turned around and saw Cai Yuan carefully picking up the ginseng and returning it to the embroidered box. He immediately said, "Since it has fallen out, take it for a wash. First, stew this ginseng to nourish seventh brother's body."

"Yes." Cai Yuan agreed and had his men take the ginseng to the kitchen to stew it while he kept the others.

"How did you get ambushed?"

Hearing the three words "Yi Cui Shu", both Mu Qian Xue and Dong Fang Su's expression changed slightly. The latter asked: "Who is it?"

Dong Fang Ze said snappily: "He doesn't know either, it was so hard for me to find a sword I like, but I was looking at it but I couldn't take it away. Just as I was feeling frustrated, I saw a figure quietly standing behind me with something in his hand, looking at the situation, I hurriedly moved to the side, just then, an arrow brushed past my arm and struck the cabinet, and when I turned back, there was already no one behind me." After speaking, he pointed to the two attendants standing by the side and said angrily, "Asking the two of them about it, they actually said that they didn't see anything. I wonder what use those eyes have."

Faced with his scolding, the servant lowered his head, not daring to make a sound. Most likely, after his anger faded a little, one of them carefully raised his head, and said grievingly: "This lowly one really did not think that there would be a person who would assassinate the Prince in broad daylight, so … "I didn't look back."

Dong Fang Ze snorted, "I was lucky, otherwise I would have died."

Hearing that, the two servants immediately kneeled down, and asked Dong Fang Ze to forgive them. Although the latter was angry, he did not intend to punish them.

Mu Qian Xue said indifferently: "Even if you have never avoided it before, Mu Wang would only have been severely injured, and won't be in any life-threatening danger."

It was only now that Dong Fang Ze realized that Mu Qian Xue was also present, "Why does Princess say that?"
